The methods of Indian basket weaving explained in this excellent manual are the very ones employed by native practitioners of the craft. Members of the Navajo School of Indian Basketry have set down their secrets in clear and simple language, enabling even the beginner to create work that can rival theirs in grace, design, and usefulness. The text begins with basic techniques: choice of materials, preparation of the reed, splicing, the introduction of color, principles and methods of design, shaping the basket and finishing. A great variety of baskets and weaves from many cultures are described in subsequent chapters, such as Lazy Squaw, Mariposa, Toas, Samoan, Klikitat, and Shilo, each accompanied by specific instructions. There are suggestions for the weaving of shells, beads, feathers, fan palms, date palms, and even pine needles, and recipes for the preparation of dyes. Examples of each type of basket are illustrated by photographs, often taken from more than one angle so that the bottom can be seen as well as the top and sides. Close-up photography of the various types of stitching, especially at the crucial stage of beginning the basket, is an invaluable aid to the weaver. In addition, the authors have provided line drawings which are exceptionally clear magnifications of the various weave patterns. Anyone who follows the lessons contained in this book will have a knowledge of basketry unattainable in any other way. They are so lucid and complete that the amateur as well as the experienced weaver will be able to manufacture baskets distinguishable from authentic native articles only in that they were not woven by Indians. For those who merely seek a broader knowledge of American Indian arts, the book provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject of basketry.

The origins of basketry are lost in the mists of prehistory, but making baskets is certainly one of the oldest and most nearly universal crafts of mankind. In the Americas, basket artifacts found in caves in Utah have been dated at 7000 B.C., while twined baskets said to be at least 5,000 years old have been uncovered in Peru. In the American Southwest, an entire Indian culture (ca. 100–700 A.D.) is known as "Basket Maker" because of the distinctive baskets it produced. This exhaustive survey (two volumes in one) of American Indian basketry, perhaps the finest book ever published on the subject, documents basketmaking throughout the Americas — in Eastern North America, Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, Western Canada, Oregon, California and the Interior Basin, as well as Mexico, Central and South America. Spanning a wide range of indigenous cultures (Aleutian, Tlinkit, Shoshonean, Athapascam, etc.), the detailed, carefully researched discussions in this book offer a wealth of information about woven and coiled basketry, watertight basketry, materials, basketmaking techniques and preparation, ornamentation and symbolism, as well as the uses of baskets as receptacles, in preparing and serving food, for gleaning and milling, in mortuary customs, in religion and social life, in trapping, carrying water, and in many other areas of Indian life. An interesting and informative chapter on collectors and collections and the preservation of baskets, followed by a helpful biography, rounds out the book. In addition, the author, once Curator of Ethnology at the U.S. National Museum (part of the Smithsonian Institution), enhanced this encyclopedic study with over 450 excellent photographs and illustrations. For collectors, preservationists, anthropologists, students of crafts and culture, modern basketmakers, this is an indispensable reference — a massively rich source of information about baskets, the peoples who made them, how they were made, and their role in native American life and culture.

This dissertation explores concepts of art, race, and gender in the turn-of-the-century celebration of Native American handicrafts. Identifying the Progressive Era interest in Indian art as distinct from the modernist concerns of the twenties and thirties, I identify this phenomenon of the reformist Arts and Crafts Movement. Anglo-Americans of this period promoted private and federal support of "pre-industrial" Indian art to facilitate their own social and cultural progress and accelerate the "civilization" of Indian people. Middle-class women arguing that the advance of American civilization depended on the active participation of their sex helped redefine both the manufacture and enjoyment of Indian art as female activities. Like other aspects of federal assimilationist policy of the time, the celebration of Indian art encouraged Indian people to develop a modern, transcultural understanding of Indianness. This history is not only vital to the understanding of the subsequent course of Native American art, but it illuminates the role of visual culture in concepts of American cultural identity. While American artistic culture of this period is frequently described as anti-modern, conservative, and masculinist, my research allows us to see this period, and the history of American art in general, as a site in which attitudes toward art and commerce, and gender and race, are contested. I have arranged this material in four chapters. Chapter one analyzes the cultural messages about primitivism, civilization and gender in the use of Indian art as home decoration by examining photographs of the George Wharton James, Jewett and Joseph Keppler collections. Chapter two looks at publications celebrating handicraft-oriented Indian reform projects designed by non-Indians Sybil Carter and Estelle Reel to bring Native American women into a middle class American economy and value system. Chapter three examines the relationship between gender, primitivism and early American modernism in representations of Native American artists by pictorialist photographer Gertrude Kasebier. The last chapter looks at how Angel DeCora, a Winnebago painter, manipulated contemporary aesthetic ideas to advance a politicized theory of Indian art within the context of the Indian rights movement
